How To Reappear

Mother love
Are you near
Are there words to be spoken
So that I could reappear

Broken boy
A tattered coat upon a spine
Bleeding hope across the sidewalk
Then in the evenings voices come and they’ll sing to me

I'm on your side for now
But you're so far broken
And doors keep closing

Red used to go so nicely
With pink and blue
Then the colors died
And I might leave here soon

That’s why I’m holding on so tightly
To things like you
That bring back the light that left here
Light that left here
I might leave here, I might leave here soon

Father sin
Are you near
And are there words to be spoken
So that I can reappear

Or now
Let this be my final dream
If I can't live how I remember
Send me forth towards light and soft eternity

I’m on your side
For now
